Storms lash south-east Qld

Severe storms have passed through south-east Queensland, damaging homes and bringing down trees and power lines.

Police say houses have had their roofs damaged at Toogoolawah and Esk, west of Brisbane.

Homes are also thought to have been damaged at Tiaro near Maryborough.

Across the south-east about 3,000 homes are still without power.

Weather bureau senior forecaster Vikash Prasad says some of the storms were severe.

"I suspect there's been some hail from these storms," he said.

"As far as the rainfall's concerned it's been quite phenomenal in those Lockyer Valley areas and we've had one report of I think falls up to about 75-millimetres near Marburg, so yes, pretty decent storms."
